"Through our clinical research of organic versus non-organic, we have yet to see the value of paying more for those types of food," said Carol Casco, Clinical Dietician, Medstar Washington Hospital Center.

• For example, regular and organic frozen spinach - similar vitamins and minerals. But, the organic is a $1.10 more.

• Regular and organic mixed veggies - same nutrients, but the organic is also $1.10 more.

But nutritionists say if you don't want to spend the extra money, just know that you are getting the same nutritional benefits. And washing your produce will eliminate at least 50 percent of those chemicals.
